Do all nailers/staplers need an air compressor to work?

There are some that use electricity--either a power cord or batteries. My impression is that they are not as good as air-driven nailers. Regrettably, I have no personal experience with any of them.

Absolutely not. Paslode makes excellent cordless nailers that uses a butane-like fuel cell and a rechargeable battery to shoot brads and nails with no cords or compressors. I have their 18 gauge brad nailer and it's great for my needs (professional). I do a lot of small jobs out of my van and don't have the room to carry a compressor and hose on a daily basis. Not cheap, though.I believe DeWalt still makes an 18 gauge cordless brad nailer, though I've never used one.

Not all nailers/staplers need an air compressor - there are a variety of staplers/brad nailers that are electric or rechargable battery operated.

It should work IF you are not using a great volume of air. I use this with a nail gun (brad and finish nailer and staples) as well as adding air to auto tires (which does use quite a volume of air).

Mini compressor. It is only air pressured tool. I absolutely love this staple gun. Already finished 3 full size couches and 3 arm chairs. Very nice tool! Would recommend to start with mini compressor. This staple gun is easy on your hands and does not get jammed.

Yes. This gun is a high volume low pressure gun. Small projects like your talking about is perfect for the air compressor your using.

yes you will need a compressor, & a powerful one, these gear drive sander grinders use alot of air power.

Yes nailer and mini sprayer hvlp guns things that don't need a lot of cfm to run. I mostly use an airbrush and mini sprayer. But nothing that need over 4-5 cfm

Yes it does need an air compressor. The required operating pressure is 70 to 110 PSI. I run mine at 85 PSI and it works just fine. It does not use a lot of air and a small compressor that shuts off at 125 PSI should work well around the house.

No, you will need an air compressor, with pressure regulator, filter and moisture trap.

Of course you'll need an air compressor, but you probably know that. I haven't had to replace any parts yet and I've used it a lot. Hope this helps.

I have been using a Porter-Cable C1010 portable air compressor withthis NuMax nailer. The compressor works fine so far. It is available for $100 on Amazon.com, a price that is even cheaper than what I paid a few years ago.

Yes. This compressor will run any air tool you would like. I run impacts, cutoff tools, sand blasters, air saws, die grinders, nail guns and all sorts of things off of it. It just need to run the motor more to keep filled since it's smaller. Not a huge deal just let it cool down periodically.

Does not need an air compressor. Can be used right from the box. However, I am a Lady and I found the item to be very heavy and awkward to use. Tires the arm! So, if you have a lot of spraying to do, you might want to take the weight of the item into consideration. Simple to operate, it's true, but I am not looking forward to my next spraying project only because of the weight of the item. Jean D.

If the stapler is truly leaking air you need to contact the manufacturer, however check for air leaks where air hose connects to the stapler. There should be a rubber o ring in the coupling that connects to the stapler. If this o ring is missing or out of alignment the air pressure will leak off and cause the air compressor to run more than necessary. I use the Surebonder 9615 for upholstery and am very happy with it.

A compressor is a electrical device that produces air power in order to operate this stapler or other pneumatic tools such as nail guns or for spray painting. Separate item not included with stapler.

The air compressor should have a regulator. That's how most air guns set depth of fasteners. Less air, less power shot, shallow shot! More air more depth! Hope that helps Chris. Best stapler I've owned.

I'm using a portable 6 gallon 150 psi pancake compressor made by Stanley. It's fine for my basement/garage projects using any of my 3 nail guns.

No, you need a special 3000 psi hand pump, scuba tank, or high pressure air compressor. I use a hand pump.
